Enjoy my signature fluff, doll. <3
The tv left playing in the living room broadcasted a news segment as I showered. Today was a long day, and washing off the dirt, blood and sweat from a victorious fight. Turning up the hot water, I began washing my hair. I could hear Kano in the other room walking around while I let the stress of today melt away down the shower drain along with my body’s filth. The duck shaped blue rubber grips on the tub floor turned red as I rinse blood off my legs. I hear the door to the bathroom open as I could sense Kano behind the shower curtain. He unbuttoned his pants and undid his buckle when I pull the curtain a small bit to see him undressed.
“Wanna climb in with me?”
He nodded as he turned off his cybernetic eye by rubbing his ear. He pulled the other side of the shower curtain open walking in. Closing it, I gather him into my arms.
“Great job baby…” He purred. I could smell whiskey on his breath as he kisses me sweetly. His mustache tickled my nose as I ran my hand up his chest hair. His cybernetic heart blinked a few times as I nuzzled him,
“Yeah thanks. I’m tired and so sore so no sex tonight. Sorry.”
“It’s okay, luv. I’m not quite in the mood either.”
I was glad we agreed on that, and I could tell something was bothering him.“Is something wrong?” I asked.
He looked away at the half empty bottle of my conditioner before answering,
“I dunno how to say this but…I hope you’re not mad at me.”
“Well, sometimes I say the stupidest shite. I can be a complete drongo sometimes and I act before I think.”I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes,
“Kano, I’m not upset. We had a…disagreement is all. I don’t hate you. I could never hate you.”
He stroked my head a few times and kissed my forehead.
I nodded, and I let him get under the shower head. Handing him the bar of soap on the soap dish, I asked him,
“Tell me, was that a bit of a hard on I saw when I beat up that new recruit as part of the initiation?”
He chuckled as he admitted it was. I laughed despite myself as he scrubbed his neck. Tracing his tattoos with my finger, he held me close, his hand over the curve of my spine.
He dragged my lips up to his as they were tinged with the taste of the cinnamon whiskey on his breath. His tongue caressed mine as he pulled my hips into his. I could feel the passion in his kiss as the metal part of his face felt strangely yet amazingly warmer.
“Luv, you mean more to me than anythin’. I never would of thought a woman like you could make me so happy. Can you tell me why I fell in love with you again?”
“Funny…I thought you’d know.”
“No you should know the answer to that already.”
He shook his head,
“Now you’re just bein’ silly.”
Placing some sweet, soft kisses on my cheek he continued,
“No matter what people say about me, you always seem to bring the best outta me. Tell me, what did I do to deserve a goddess like you?”
“I dunno. What did you see in me in the first place?”
Kano’s sigh was unsure yet cocky,
“Well, to tell you the truth, well…do you believe in love at first sight?”
I tilted my head at his question.
Kano gathered my hand into his placing it on his chest. His answer was touching.
“The moment I saw you, I felt something I never felt before. I didn’t know what it was. Every time we spent time together, and what started out as what I thought was friendship bloomed into a crush I guess. Then, I realized that I didn’t wanna let you go. Then, I realized I loved you. Something i didn’t think I was capable to do.”
I smiled listening to those beautiful words. I looked deep into his eyes,
“I love you too Kano. I love you with all my heart.”
For those precious moments, we were seemingly almost one person.
